Catharine, I am orginally from Mobile. My Cazalas decent is as follows: Francois Joseph Cazalas Frank A. Cazalas, Sr. Grover Cleveland Cazalas Josephine Marie Cazalas Edward Eugene Steward Me Do you or anyone have more info on this family as to when they came from France and who Francois parents were?
My dad (deceased) told me about a man coming to Mobile and interviewing people for a history he was doing on the Cazalas Family. Does anyone know who this man was or how I can obtain a copy of it? Thanks.

Its my understanding from my dad Emmett Cazalas that his father and Frank Cazalas were brothers . Frank was sherriff of Mobile county at one time . I have seen various references on the internet and mssg board postings that there was a Francois Cazalas that first came over from France from a basque region.If you use various search engines under the name Cazalas you can find so much info.I did a search and found out that Frank Cazalas is the reason that there is now a federal law to protect incarcerated criminals from harm by outsiders ,such as lynchmobs . It seems Frank left the jail open to a lynchmob who decided they wanted to hang a black prisoner for theft . there was a big court case and the law was inacted. We have such an interesting family.I would like to know more about my grandmother Anna Mary Weiss my dads mother. All I was ever told about her was that she drowned when he was 10 or eleven. I dont know if that is rally true .As there is a death listed for Anna Mary in the 1950s.So unless it as a namesake or the ne wife had same name Im not sure .My dad seems to remember her differently than his brother Father Pete..Dad told me she was a strong hard working woman with strong constitution..Pete told me that his mother was a woman of frail health. I have photos of my Grandmother& and grandfather when they married in 1900. Very handsome couple

Hi Michelle,
I came across this post and the others and wanted to say hi. The Aubrey Cazalas that you are talking about is my grandfather. He married Mary (Biagi)Cazalas and had two children with her. Debbie and Buddy. Debbie is my mother. What is your mothers name? Where do you live?

Roderick was my Great Uncle. His brother Aubrey was my Grandfather.
